*From the News, Bloomfield, Ind.*

GOLDEN DAYS.--"To merit is to insure success" is certainly verified in
the publication of GOLDEN DAYS, by James Elverson, Philadelphia. This
admirable weekly for the youth of this great land is now well
established and has a large and well-deserved patronage. It is
supplanting a poisonous literature, and performing a wholesome mission
in this day when too much good seed cannot be sown by the friends of
humanity. Parents wishing to put valuable reading matter into the
hands of their children should subscribe. It is only $3 per annum, and
can be had weekly or monthly as may be desired.

*From the Daily News, Geneseo, N.Y.

We wish we could impress upon the mind of every father how cheaply he
could make the home circle doubly attractive by subscribing for the
GOLDEN DAYS, decidedly the most valuable and most interesting
pictorial newspaper we ever saw, not only for the children, but for
the entire family. For the sake of his children we sincerely urge
every father to send to the office for a specimen copy, when he can
see for himself the great value it will be in his family, and he will
thank us in his heart for calling his attention to it. Address James
Elverson, publisher, GOLDEN DAYS, corner Ninth and Spruce Streets,
Philadelphia, Penna.

*From the Buckeye Vidette, Salem, Ohio.*

GOLDEN DAYS.--This deservedly popular paper begins the autumn ripe with
golden fruit. Its stories and miscellany are rare gems of interest,
being instructive and pure, and it completely accomplishes the
delicate task of satisfying a boy's taste for adventure without being
sensational. The pictures are handsomely executed. A Sunday-school
lesson each week by Rev. Dr. Strobridge. Its articles on scientific
subjects are of the best, its short stories good, and, in fact, it is
a masterly combination of useful and fascinating literature.

*From the Marietta Times, Marietta, Pa.*

The monthly part of GOLDEN DAYS is, as usual, replete with healthful and
interesting reading, in the shape of instalments of several captivating
serials by popular authors, short stories, natural history papers,
practical papers, Sunday-school lessons, poetry, puzzles, etc.,
profusely illustrated. James Elverson, publisher, Philadelphia.

Don't Neglect Your Teeth.
*SOZODONT*

* * * * *

*From the Dalton (Ga.) Argus.*

The GOLDEN DAYS is a handsome and most entertaining publication for the
youth of the country. Its sketches, stories, anecdotes and general fund
of bright reading matter is such as excites the vivid imagination of the
young, without leaving a trace of wild and unbridled adventure to
torture their minds to a longing for border acts of cowboy heroism.
There is a moral precept in every page, and an abundance of thrilling
adventure to awaken the lethargy of any boy or girl. We cheerfully
commend it to parents as a valuable adjunct to the children's parlor.

*From the Morgantown (W. Va.) Post.*

The GOLDEN DAYS, a publication for men and boys, published in
Philadelphia by James Elverson, is a literary publication that never
goes backward, but keeps on improving. It is the best of its kind, and
will bear re-reading, and then make a choice book for binding for future
generations to read. Try it one year and you will never be without it.

*From the Advocate, Tipton, Ind.*

GOLDEN DAYS fills a want that no other magazine attempts to supply. Pure
and interesting stories for summer reading is a special feature. Highly
illustrated. For sample copy. address James Elverson, Philadelphia.
